Nice research, but how are stain head's remarks from 5 years ago relate to the discussion?????

[ApesForEvolution]

That would be ideal, but then, we *are* talking about politicians here Luis - you know - like ones that say 'Read My Lips...' and stuff like that...

[ApesForEvolution]

Do you personally prefer a Representative Republic or a Democracy?

[ApesForEvolution]

We are launching Operation 'Start HERE!' right now.

We are challenging every conservative-minded, America-loving person to get involved on the localist of levels, the 'HERE' to all of us, to control this country politically from the grassroots up.

We lost the grassroots, but we have the best grassroots people, the hardest working, in the business. This sight is where the grassroots of conservative congregate, or at least they should start.

There's too many CINOs that either just don't get it, just don't care or just want to move the party futher LEFT. That's the challenge that needs to be won at the grassroots level - that RINOs aren't who gets the grassroots. The best grassroots people, that are the most motivated - WIN! Every time...

[Madame de Winter]

Wow. words escape me, chad fairbanks!
Wish yio luck in africa or alaska. Anywhere you think democracy is wrong. And I pray to God it is far, far, far away from me and normal people

Bravo Jim!

Don't worry about the so called conservatives who hate all of us, you and GW more the rats do.

President Reagan had the same problem with these losers in life as our Governor and later as our President.

Here is Mr Reagan's reality versus the insanity of the so called chosen few, (chosen only by themselves.).

Ronald Reagan on the art of political compromise:


"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything. "I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it." ~~ Ronald Reagan, in his autobiography, An American Life

Jim, if Ronald Reagan and GW are losers in the eyes of the real losers of life. You should be honored to be considered a loser by them. Don't worry about them. All they do in life is lose,whine and try to insult the winners in life.

But that would require his supporters to have "spine" Conservatives have one fatal flaw, they elect people and start undermining them the next day.

I noticed that too!

[Syncro]

LOL...of course not, but as a dozen or so posters comment on things of that nature, I thought I would...

[ladyinred]

You mean age doesn't mellow a person out?...... sheesh that's what I was looking forward to.... lol

Nah, It just makes your bones creek, and you start cussing people out more! :-)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

; )

[budwiesest]

but you keep dividing them with the GOP "us or them" mentality.

Interesting observation.

It's isn't "us vs. them" but rather "us vs. it". The sooner the masses realize that "it"(govt.) doesn't have their best interests at heart and an agenda of it's own, the sooner change will take place. And no sooner.

[WVNan]

Jim, we you.

[Madame de Winter]

And you use this argument for one party rule....

You scare me...

[jwh_Denver]

I'm all ears. Please lay it on us.

That is the problem with both conservatives and Republicans, we don't have a plan of action. We have no one as our leader. We're not sure as group what we should do. We need a leader. The Communists make a plan for decades away and with patience they finally arrive at their goal. We have nothing but crises management. We are fighting against maybe %5 to %10 of the people in this country and we are losing. "You say you have a real solution, yeah yeah you know, we'd all love to see your plan."

[Madame de Winter]

Good judges bad judge each ovelap each other. Thank god they are not on the 4 year plan. The dyn amic that makes this country work is the slowneeness of our gov. It ensures that no demogogurey can haqppen...

[Saundra Duffy]

I am so proud of you and proud to be a FReeper! God bless America!!

[Sam Spade]

Is that true for you too, Bob? :-)

[cgk]

Since we are a Constitutional Republic, with a representative form of government, we elect people to represent us -

I'm still amazed Pelosi got away with saying that she didn't think politicians needed to be "looking over their shoulders", after Gray was recalled. Speaks volumes about how they see their own "entitlements."

[Dustbunny]

Excellent!!

[sushiman]

Allow me to play devil's advocate .

1.)What constitutional rights do you believe the ACLU is trashing?

2.) What piece of legislation, which was promulgated by the Clinton administration, and passed by Congress, do you believe trashed the Constitution?
